    no matter your self justification, the power supply running your comp only outputs so much power if something else (ie a usb2 drive) requires power, it just doesn't come from thin air, it's taking away power from your comp. this is even true in desktop models

    all that will happen on your notebook is the drive will kill your battery faster than without it and if it's always plugged into the wall, apparently a lack of electricity isn't your reason for wanting to power it from the comp

    build your own external from a case and a 3.5" drive from newegg, more reliable and cost efficient
